A small real estate company recently hired Frances to be its administrative manager. The owners recruited Frances from another real estate company because of her successful experience with the expansion and opening of new locations. One of her first objectives is to learn as much as possible about her current employees. She wants to quickly select a few top performers to be part of a team dedicated to opening new stores. Frances needs people who are not only technically good at their jobs but who also have excellent communication and problem-solving skills.
Frances is trying to decide the most efficient method for learning about the current employees to decide who she wants to recruit for her team. One approach she is considering is to shadow each person for a day. Another idea is to use one or more assessment tools. However, Frances has never used an assessment tool, so she is not sure what to use and how to get started.

They were already the proud parents of Xavier, who was 7. Alex and Bianca were due to attend a routine ante-natal appointment at the local hospital on Monday morning. They waved Xavier goodbye, and watched him walk down and across the road, where he was due to follow the pavements along the side of the quiet streets which led to his primary school. They waited until Xavier was out of sight, and then went back into their house to get ready. Unbeknown to Alex and Bianca, Xavier rarely kept to the streets on his way to school. Instead, he preferred to cut across a steep grassy field (owned by Yolande County Council), and around which there were erected a dilapidated fence and several ‘Do Not Trespass’ signs. The field was criss-crossed with narrow dirt pathways, worn into the grass by those in the neighbourhood who chose to ignore the signs and fence and use the field as a shortcut.
